“Over the last week we have only had one bus cancellation,” Premier David Burt told the House of Assembly.

As everyone is aware there have been a steady flow of bus route cancellations for some time, however the cancellations have been significantly reduced in recent days.

We asked the Transport Ministry what the reason for the reduced cancellations was, and a spokesperson said, “There are more buses in service because the maintenance section has worked hard to address out of service levels. The fact that school is out provides some ‘breathing room’ for repairs to take place.”
